This year, Ginza Restaurant Week will be held again, and during the period, famous luxury restaurants will have a meal with a meal before lunch, 3,000 yen, and dinner includes 10,000 yen tax service charge. Today, I came to Escoffier, a restaurant founded in 1950. A wonderful painting and rose flowers create a spacious dining space.
The appetizer is a hors d'oeuvres with smoked salmon and herbs. The sauce is made with vinegar and pungent, and I was impressed with hummus. Next, seafood dishes of sea bream and shrimp. The sea bream was moderately grilled and it was very delicious.
Next, today's main dish came out. Beef meat stewed with madeira wine. (The picture is for 2 people. The reason is that no one was sitting in the front chair. ) The meat was so soft and delicious that the cheeks of the person who really eats seemed to fall.
The last dessert and coffee. This is also for 2 people. It was said that the dessert coffee babaroa is a special specification for Ginza restaurant week. This coffee babaroa was really delicious. It was the most delicious babaroa in my life. This restaurant Escofier is also called a "joy lunch menu" and costs ￥3,990 (including tax and service charge). It is an easy French shop that makes you want to come again. Click here for the shop's website. http://www.escoffier.co.jp/
Ginza Restaurant Week is open until November 4th. The restaurant in Ginza tends to seem to have a high threshold, but it is a chance to try it. By all means, please enjoy the world's highest taste in Ginza, where gourmet gathers. Please take a look at this guide too. http://www.ginza.jp/archives/7382

The London Olympics, which colored this summer. After the closing, the parade of British national players was filled with a great success of 1 million citizens. The Ginza Parade of the Japanese medalist was 500,000, so it's really here. Soseki Natsume (1867-1916) was the first Japanese who studied abroad in London. This time, I visited the relationship between this great writer and Chuo-ku.
Soseki has no connection with Chuo-ku (Nihonbashi-ku + Kyobashi-ku), but there are three monuments in the ward. Both were built by an official at Waseda University near the birthplace of Waseda, and are located in a place related to Soseki's work.
 ①"The site of Masago-za, where the performance of Soseki" Cat "" Monument
(5-1 Nihonbashi Nakasu, 2003)
From January 1905 to August 1939, "I am a Cat" published in grayheaded cuckoo magazine became very popular and was performed in Masago-za from November 3 to 30, 1906 by Yoho Ii. (Soseki doesn't seem to be watching this stage.)
 ②"The Stage of Soseki Masterpieces" Monument
(2005 Nihonbashi 1-4 Coredo Nihonbashi Annex Square)
Before the earthquake, there was a vaudeville called Kihara store in a narrow Yokocho around this area, which appeared in "Sanshiro" and "Kokoro". Soseki himself loves rakugo, and he often visited when he was young.
 ③Monument of "Echigoya in Soseki"
(Rooftop of Mitsukoshi Main Store, 1-4-1 Nihonbashi Muromachi, 2006)
Echigo-ya kimono shop (Mitsukoshi) appears in "Michikusa" and "Hobby genetics". In addition, "Gobijinso Yukatachi" will be sold and it will be a great reputation.
Born in Edo, Soseki of Tokyo. Nihonbashi and Ginza in the city center should have been very interested, and their works will feature many famous stores and long-established stores that continue to exist, such as Takebatei, Tenshodo, Shiseido, Meijiya, Maruzen, etc. You must have visited him many times.
Looking at Soseki's diary, there is a description of taking a walk in Ginza like one day. In 1910, from June 18 to July 31, just before the so-called "Shuzenji Great Case", he was hospitalized at Choyo Gasin Hospital near Hibiya Park (the brother of Yoshiro Nagayo was the director), but one week before discharge It seems that he walked around Ginza every night. On July 28, he climbed to the roof of Tenshodo, and looked at his legs and felt like he was scooping. (In this hospital diary ... The unusual therapy of warming the abdomen with konjac heated for gastric ulcer treatment continues for two weeks, and the skin becomes fired, but the konjac fee is 15 per week It is said that you paid 25 yen. In addition, Takuboku Ishikawa, who worked for the Asahi Shimbun in Takiyama-cho (Ginza 6-chome), visited twice on July 1 and 5 for corporate purposes. There is a description.)
Okura Shoten and Hattori Shoten, which published Soseki's success work, "I am a Cat", are located in Nihonbashi and Kyobashi wards, respectively, and probably have traveled several times. In addition, the Asahi Shimbun, who joined the company, was also in Takiyama-cho, so the relationship between Soseki and Chuo-ku seems to be unexpectedly deep. There may be a monument in the ward from now on.

The Swan Cafe Ginza store celebrates the 10th anniversary of its opening. The event is being held with gratitude from October 24 to 26. I rushed to celebrate with my friends on the 24th of the first day.
It's Buffet style of standing food. It is said that this chef studied under a French master. There are nice dishes lined up. As usual, all the staff welcomed me with a modest smile.
While a variety of menus are lined up, the chef will cut "Wagyu roast beef".
This is delicious!  Please go out. Don't miss it !
Also, the coffee in the morning is very delicious. Is the mildest organic coffee from Guatemala in Japan? It is recommended with the swan bakery next to you. Please click here for more information. http://www.swanbakery.jp/shop2/ginza.html

This event I'm looking forward to every year.
After all, as the title suggests, cultural events are held in various places in Chuo-ku, and the entire ward becomes a museum!
From the old days of Edo to the present, Chuo-ku, which has always been the center of Japan and has been at the forefront of the times while preserving tradition carefully.
On the day of the event, only the main ones, a city tour such as Ginza, Nihonbashi, Tsukiji, etc., a tour of the head office of the Bank of Japan, and a tour of the gallery in Ginza.
There are plenty of things such as a rickshaw experience at concerts, a navel exhibition that introduces the industries in the city at the Harumi Flower Festival, and a meeting of Yagenbori talks.
In addition, on this day, a free bus and boat operate, and the Edo bus of the community bus will be free to enjoy Chuo-ku plenty.
Oh, Chuo-ku's stomach! I'm going to scream.
It's great for those who want to participate in events in Ginza and Nihonbashi, but want to go to Harumi too.
One of the most recommended is a free boat with three courses .
On the Akashicho Waterside Line Tour Route and the Hakozaki / Harumi Route, you can see the Rainbow Bridge and Sky Tree from a perfect place, and it is the best if the weather is nice!
The Nihonbashi tour route is a great opportunity to see the roads and bridges that you usually walk from above the water.
In the Edo period, it was actually used as an important water transport, so it may be a good idea to think about that era.
Most of the events that still have many are free (some are paid), but some require reservations in advance, and buses and ships have time to operate, so the "Marugoto Museum 2012" Please see the homepage, the announcement of the ward dated October 21, and the detailed pamphlets distributed at the facilities of the ward.
If you look at the pamphlet and think about where to go, you will be excited now!

We provide seasonal topics while visiting temples and shrines in the city, and we write articles in a good manner with poor ginseng. This is the second time.
Takenawa Aki. The town of Ginza, sung by "Enjoy City, the City of Love ♪" and "Tokyo Rhapsody", now has a very sorrowful color and has an atmosphere like an "adult town".
There is a famous "Ginza Hatcho Shrine Tour" in Ginza. This course, which is enshrined here and there in the town of Ginza, visits Shinto and Buddha, is a recommended promenade where you can also enjoy a strict feeling as a silver bra. It is also introduced on the homepage of the Chuo-ku Tourism Association, so please take a look. Visit Ginza Hatcho Shrine
One day I walked on this course near the evening. Each spot is unique and attractive, but this time I would like to introduce [Ryuko fudoson] from among them. As you know, the statue of Acalanatha is located on the premises of the Matsuya Ginza store and has been handed down since the Kamakura period.
 Acalanatha is said to be the incarnation of Dainichi Nyorai, the center of Esoteric Buddhism, and is a god of resentment derived from India, the birthplace of Buddhism. In addition, this Buddha has been told that it has benefited from "Ryuko" (favortex) due to the reading of its name, and it is said that the number of visitors to fashion-related people has increased. It's a story that makes sense in the town of Ginza. [Photo 1: Ryuko fudoson]
Next, I would like to introduce [Successful guardian of children and travelers] on the Mitsukoshi Ginza store, which is the same line as Matsuya.
 It was dug out in the early Meiji era from now being reclaimed [Sankuma Horikawa], and the name of "Successfulness" was dedicated to "Successfulness". It is believed that "If you do your best, you will always be able to communicate" and attract many religions. Jizo Bodhisattva is a Chinese translation of Sanskrit, which means "Buddha in the womb," and is said to save people as wrapping them in the womb. The image of everyday life is "Children's guardian angel". [Photo 2: Success guardian of children and travelers]
Of course, there is also [Kagoya Inari Shrine] on the same department store Matsuzakaya. The Hatcho Shrine also includes seven Inari-sama companies. In the old days, "Edo specialty." Iseya, Inari had a somewhat dirty word of dog droppings.
As I learned from rakugo, it is exactly "Samurai, Bonito, Daimyokoji, Hirokoji, teahouse, purple, fire extinguishing, Nishiki-e." I'm in the middle of a fight with fire. Iseya, dog droppings in Inari. " I think it clearly expresses the hustle and bustle of Edo at that time. There was a company in the town here and there that contains Inari. By the way, it is said that the inclusion of "dog droppings" is a ridiculous for the "law of mercifulness".
In the Ginza area, the annual "Autumn Ginza 2012" will be held from 27th of this month to November 4th. As part of the event, "Good luck stamp rally" of "Ginza Hatcho Tour" will also be accepted from November 1 to 4. Why don't you go out in this refreshing season?

Now, as I walked in such a way, the dusk was approaching one day. Ginza Street is going to end.
In the past, there used to be a popular song called "Ginza of Tasore", but is Ginza a city that suits you at night?
When the passers-by to Twilight suddenly begins to show calm, I think that such urban scenery is also delicious.
[Photo 4: View the Shimbashi area from Ginza 4-chome]
The 27th of this weekend, when "Autumn Ginza 2012" begins, is "Thirteen Nights" (September 13, old calendar).
 Since ancient times, Japanese have enjoyed watching the moon at this night, apart from the 15th night of August old calendar. It seems that "Thirteen Nights" is a custom unique to Japan that is not found in China. Isn't it a wind style to taste the moon just before the full moon as a "name moon"? It is probably the sensibility of the Japanese who have valued subtle "beauty".
"Autumn sun drops a fishing bottle" ... Please try "Gin Bra" while enjoying the change from sunset to night view. You will be able to meet the wonderful scenery.
